Anthropic is bundling its Claude Code AI assistant into its Enterprise and Team plans, a move addressing user capacity limits and increasing competition with Google and GitHub. The new offering adds granular spending controls, usage analytics, and a Compliance API for improved governance and auditing. This allows businesses to unify their AI chat and coding workflows under a single subscription with predictable costs and enhanced administrative oversight.
